kāyal is Malayalam for backwater.

Only four bedrooms

Kayal sits on the backwaters at Cherai, on Vypin Island. The pool is right on the lakeside, and the rooms look out over the water.

With four bedrooms, the villa hosts one group or a handful of guests at a time. It stays quiet, and every guest gets our full attention.

  3. Evening

    The lake

    Evening is the best time of day here. Find a spot by the pool and watch the light change over the lake.

  4. Night

    Quiet

    There are only four bedrooms, so even a full house never feels like a hotel.
